Light the Beacons! ‘The Gate Must Stand’ Launches on Steam

Dark fantasy fans and strategy tacticians, unite! Yogscast Games and Gamersky Games have officially joined forces to unleash The Gate Must Stand onto PC via Steam. Developed by Senmu Studio, this highly anticipated indie title drops players right into the final, desperate defence of the fallen Kingdom of Belrak.

If you love the chaotic pressure of Survivors-likes, the tactical depth of Tower Defence, and the addictive loop of Action Roguelites, this is the blend you’ve been waiting for.

Hold the Line Against Impossible Odds

In The Gate Must Stand, the continent has fallen, the demonic invasion is at your doorstep, and you are the city of Belrak’s absolute last line of defence.

Unlike traditional tower defence games, where you safely manage lines from a bird’s-eye view, this game puts you right in the thick of the meat grinder. You will control a powerful hero, fighting hand-to-hand alongside your forces to defend a single, critical chokepoint: the city gate.

Your allies can fall, revive, and regroup, but remember: if the gate falls, it’s game over.

“Heroes can fall, but the gate must stand.”

Key Features At A Glance

  • Four Unique Heroes: Take control of diverse archetypes, from savage berserkers to devastating spellcasters, each featuring entirely distinct combat styles.
  • Insane Build Variety: Experiment with 149 Hero Skills and 150 Follower Skills to unlock massive, battlefield-clearing synergies.
  • Evolving Armies: Recruit from 19 base followers and use hard-won demonic relics to mutate them into 38 terrifying Ultimate Forms.
